Rosemary was my mom´s dear friend back in the 50´s, and I remember the Rufo´s well. We went to visit them in Boston when my twin brother and I were about 8 years old. What a wonderful memory! God bless their souls. RIP.

My mom was Rosemary´s best friend when they were young. Rose Lampasona. I´m her daughter. We came to Boston and stayed with you when we were little. It was a wonderful time. Great memories of Rosemary and Bruno and the kids. RIP both of you in heaven together celebrating eternal life!!

My mom and dad were good friends. I was just a little girl when we left our Brooklyn home to drive to Boston in the 60’s. I remember them being so warm and loving. I have pictures sitting on the couch with my twin brother Peter and their kids. It was such a happy time, though short. I always remembered Rosemarie and Bruno. I just googled the name and this came up. I’m sorry they both passed away. I wish I looked sooner. God bless. ❤RIP. Love,Gina Lampasona

Bruno was always a great man to see walk into the store. He also always told us story's about his grandchildren. " The girls, all they want to do is shop,but the boys they fish" He was a kind, sweet man and spoke often and highly of his wife. He was an amazing man and will be missed.

To Bruno's Family, I came to know Bruno through the insurance company. He was always a joy to talk to and loved telling us stories about his grandchildren. "The girls want to go to the mall and the boys like to go fishing". He had a great sense of humor and he was always in a good mood. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayes. Jacalyn
